Tracking
I started back with MY PLAN today. I will be tracking both my food, my drink and my exercise for the next two weeks. After two weeks, I might let up a bit, but maybe not.
I hate tracking with a passion. I just spent 20 minutes entering the deep dish pizza quiche into MY PLAN, since I made one last night and it will be my lunch all week. But, I am starting menopause and I am having horrible symptoms and also horrible bloating, pain and water weight gain. I've decided that I want to track everything carefully, to see if I can find a relationship between my symptoms and my eating. I also think tracking will be a good refresher on what I am actually consuming and whether I am indeed as LC as I think I am. As I said, I hate tracking and counting. Instead, I have always been more intuitive: some foods I eat freely, some I eat sparingly and some I don't eat at all. After five years at this, maybe a refresher will be good. |

:agree: I hear ya on hating the tracking part. Its a total PITA to me! :lol: But this is the second time you are talking about pain and bloating and I still say that you need to see your ob/gyn for a sonogram. Sorry if I'm nagging you but it really sounds like you need to be seen. :bhug: cnmlisa needs to chime in on this one. LISA!!! where are you!! :wave: |
Thanks, Judy. I was still a bit hungry after lunch, but the thought of having to enter more food helped me stave off the munchies. ;)
My problem is I absolutely hate my OB. I need to find a new one, and I just haven't taken the time. I'm going to look for someone in the area on my insurance this afternoon. Thanks for the push. |
Great! I'm happy to know that you'll find yourself a new one!
Here's what Lisa( she's a certified nurse midwife so she does know) has to say to you: Quote:

hi-
glad you are going to find a GYN and GO IN. The symptoms you are having need to be evaluated- please let us know how things go! It is still smart to track- you can bring that info to the MD too. E |
I'm also glad to hear you will be making an OB/Gyn appointment!
I don't like tracking either, but I do it every day. It will get less time-consuming the more you use it. For instance, did you create a recipe for the pizza quiche? If you did it's a matter of clicking one thing into the meal rather than 20 ingredients. |
